Memorandum by the United Nations Adviser, Bureau of Far Eastern Affairs (Bacon), to the Regional Planning Adviser, Bureau of Far Eastern Affairs (Ogburn)
- Subject:
- Chinese Representation
The Secretary informed the Belgian Ambassador yesterday that we would like very much to support Belgium for a Security Council post.1 Indicating that there was no sense of trade involved, the Secretary expressed the hope that the Belgians would continue to support our position on Chinese representation. The Belgian Ambassador, without giving any commitment, made assuring remarks to the general effect that Belgium had taken a prominent part in the finding of aggression against the Chinese Communists and that this and other matters would have to be cleared up, of course, before consideration could be given to seating the Chinese Communists in the United Nations.
